ONLINE INDUCTION SYSTEM

 

From topic Introduction to Online Induction System, I have learn bout online induction system that needed by new staff.  According to Rainer (2007), online induction system is an online employee induction system which is easily manage and reporting of the induction process of new employees to expose new employee in their new environment organizations and promotion requirement.

As I learn, there are several advantages and disadvantages of online induction program system. The first advantage is cost effective way to manage the training. The organization can decrease their costs in delivering induction training and increases staff productivity by eliminating repetitive tasks and face to face inductions. They can create and deliver their induction training in an online format and dramatically speed up the delivery of their compliance training by deploying it over the internet.

Besides that, the system that been use in the online induction program not only more effective but more enjoyable as well. Through the system, the organization can have full control to create, edit and delete compliance training content and deliver their compliance training process however they want. An online induction program can prevent the new employees becoming uncomfortable in their new surroundings, even becoming alienated from the company culture. In high risk industries like construction, or in work sites where contractors regularly move from site to site, tracking the skills of each employee is easier and can prevent inappropriate allocation of responsibilities, especially when it comes to using complex equipment or working in dangerous situations.

However, these online induction programs also have their disadvantages which is sometimes the new employees don’t know how to use the system due to lack of technology exposure. Besides that, it will require a lot of cost to use this system. It will burden to the organization especially for small organization. Lastly, the problem is the organization will face the probability to lose the data.
